Publication number: 20210374650Abstract: The system implements a hybrid marketplace model that takes the best attributes of both “push” and “pull” based marketplace platforms. Ride requests are submitted by ride organizers and prioritized based on driver preferences and qualifications. These are then presented to drivers in an app where they can build their daily and weekly schedule, claiming the trips most desirable for them. This gives drivers the flexibility they are looking for and gives ride organizers the ability to share driver/vehicle information with their children ahead of time (giving kids comfort on who is picking them up). Meanwhile, there is also an automated system that monitors unclaimed trips (or trips that had a last-minute driver cancel), automatically adjusts the payout to a driver, and sends automated outbound messages informing drivers of a family in need. This “push” portion of the platform ensures the system will not leave a child stranded without a ride.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2021Publication date: December 2, 2021Applicant: HopSkipDrive, Inc.Inventors: Sophy Lee, Corey McMahon, Chris Herbert, Michael Kane, Coriana Rocklein Leste, Cole Nelson, Alexander Parsons, David Werner

Publication number: 20210358233Abstract: The system is an integrated solution that provides end-to-end visibility for 3rd party observers (parents, school administrators, socials workers, etc.), and system safety personnel (“Safe Ride Support Specialists”) to monitor each trip in real-time for safety related anomalies. These incidents generate alerts that are prioritized and distributed to the appropriate party to take action through a combination of automated and manual processes. An advantage of the system is that it does not require the passenger to have a cell phone or other mobile device. In addition, the system is active instead of passive, with alerts being issued to observers in response to certain triggers. In addition, the system can take automated actions to preserve passenger safety.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2021Publication date: November 18, 2021Applicant: HopSkipDrive, Inc.Inventors: Sophy Lee, Corey McMahon, Sadie Bascom, Amanda McConnell, Cole Nelson, Alexander Parsons, David Werner

Patent number: 11072746Abstract: A process is presented to treat a process stream containing a hydrocarbon (oil and/or gas) and hydrogen sulfide with a liquid treatment solution containing a sulfur dye catalyst. The process stream can be within a pipeline, wellbore, subsea pipeline or a wellhead that contains hydrogen sulfide where the liquid treatment solution is injected at a predetermined point to define a scavenger zone such that the sulfur dye catalyst in the liquid treatment solution causes the sulfide from the hydrogen sulfide to react with the catalyst. The hydrocarbon component is separated substantially free of the hydrogen sulfide from a spent treatment solution containing spent sulfur dye catalyst which can then be fed to an oxidation vessel where it is contacted with an oxygen containing gas causing the sulfide to oxidize to thiosulfate and converting the spent sulfur dye catalyst to regenerated sulfur dye catalyst.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2020Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: MERICHEM COMPANYInventors: Preshit Gawade, Jeffrey Bruce Gomach, E.

Patent number: 9724619Abstract: The claimed invention provides a technique wherein the two column system is combined into a single column. The light components are concentrated on the prefractionation side (feed side) of the column, where they are removed as an overhead top product. The middle boiling components are removed as an overhead product on the opposite side of dividing wall. For the same product specifications, top divided column requires substantially lower capital and operating cost than a conventional two-column system.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: GTC Technology US LLCInventors: Manish Bhargava, Cole Nelson
